AMD Radeon RX 580X Benchmark and Specs

AMD Radeon RX 580X

The Radeon RX 580X is an AMD GPU that was released in 2018 March. This GPU is average at gaming with a score of 2318 points in our PC benchmark.

The Radeon RX 580X has 8 GiB of GDDR5 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 250 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 256 bits. When choosing a GPU, plan ahead and select a model with enough memory for your needs. High resolutions such as 4K require significantly more memory than 1080p as there is more data to display on the screen.

In terms of clock speed, the Radeon RX 580X GPU core runs at a frequency of 1257 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1340 MHz. The core clock is directly related to the performance of a GPU, the higher the clock, the more processing can be done per second. A higher clock does not guarantee better performance by itself, this also depends on the number of shading units and other elements of the pipeline.

As for rendering API support, the Radeon RX 580X supports up to DirectX 12.00. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.60 features are supported. Newer APIs are usually more efficient, allowing for better performance in games and better graphical effects.

The AMD Radeon RX 580X has a TDP of 185W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced.
